Re: Regarding Openbsd and zoom/hangouts etc

Hi,

I have been able to join Jitsi and Zoom using Firefox on OpenBSD.

To join Zoom meetings with FireFox from OpenBSD, please change
"OpenBSD" to "FreeBSD" or any other OS that supports Zoom in
general.useragent.override of about:config.

Also.

Set kern.audio.recording and kern.video.recording to 1 using sysctl.

Set the permissions so that the device file /dev/video? for video can
be accessed by ordinary users.

By default, Firefox will crash when you try to share the screen,
because it is a violation of the pledge system call.

To prevent this, edit the file under /etc/firefox and disable the
pledge system call. For details, see
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/firefox.

I believe that you can use Zoom in a similar way with Chromium.
